Viola Lux Umbra: Botanical Tarot & Guidebook.
Words from the incredible artist, Nicole of Leila + Olive:
The Viola Lux Umbra Tarot came to be over a lifetime of seasonal change, sprouted from soil to the wisdom of archaic stars that blossom in the night sky. Years of botanical magic brought me here, inspired to grow through art, divination, wonder, and fate with ancient light and shadow — the kindred forces our branches cast upon the mysteries of life.
From novice, sprouting Tarot readers to experts whose stems mature with timeworn truths, Viola Lux Umbra will lead you along the growing path.
Each of the 78 cards of the Major and Minor Arcana are hand-illustrated with intention and drawn from traditional Tarot meanings to where the garden meets the cards. With its extensive bound guidebook, the Viola Lux Umbra Tarot will connect any reader's card pulls and spreads with clear descriptions of botanical names, elements, keywords, thoughtful interpretations, and poignant revelations.
A culmination of all my previous tools of divination, this Tarot deck is a wise, enchanted elder to the original sister works - Pythia Botanica Oracle, Ophidia Rosa Tarot, Maiden Oracle - and a most inspired vision through the illustrated prism of our botanical world.
The Viola Lux Umbra holds:
- 78 hand-illustrated, original Tarot cards: the full Major & Minor Arcana illuminated and envisioned with fresh illustrations, plants, flowers and meanings.
- Beautiful, durable cards with gilded Antique Gold edges.
- Thoughtfully written, comprehensive bound guidebook that will inspire, mentor, depict magical meaning, and stoke intuition. Includes illustrations, an introduction, and instructions on how to read with these cards.
- The 120 page guidebook features keywords, stirring phrases and fully written meanings for each of the 78 cards, alongside the names of all of the botanicals illustrated and featured throughout the deck. From beginner to advanced readers and all in between, this work will forever grow along with your dreams, aspirations, and botanical quest.
- A beautifully designed, highest quality, two piece box with lustrous gold foil detail to house both the Viola Lux Umbra deck and guidebook wherever you may travel.
